How to Access Aged Care

Practical guidance for Australia and the United States

Request a call about care guidance

At a glance

To ask about a call, use the contact page and tell us your main question, country and time zone. This is a request for contact, not an instant booking. A time and the purpose of any call need to be confirmed with you. Our website and guidance are free; no payment is required.

Keep the request brief

You do not need to tell your full story in the first message. A few sentences about the decision you face will help establish whether the available support is suitable.

Plan your next steps

What to include

  • Your name and a reliable reply email.
  • Country, state or region and time zone.
  • The main care question you want to discuss.
  • A few suitable times and your preferred contact method.
  • Any communication or accessibility needs you want considered.

Arranging a free conversation

Ask who will speak with you and agree the purpose, time, duration and any preparation needed. If you need to change an agreed call, contact us. No payment is required. Submitting a form does not confirm a booking.

Protect personal information

Keep identity documents, account numbers and detailed health records out of a general enquiry. Ask for an appropriate secure process if further information is required.

Questions and useful links

Need an immediate response?

This enquiry route is not an emergency service and does not promise a response time. For an urgent care arrangement, contact the relevant official service or treating team directly. For immediate danger, call 000 in Australia or 911 in the United States.
